  • Patent number: 11851951
    Abstract: A system and method for evaluating a wellbore involves drawing fluid from a surrounding formation into an isolated portion of the wellbore, collecting the fluid in the isolated portion, and directing the sampled fluid to surge tanks on surface through a string of coiled tubing. The system and method includes measuring fluid properties, such as density and viscosity; and observing fluid flow characteristics, such as the fluid pressure, the fluid flowrate, and changes in the fluid flowrate. Based on the measured fluid properties and observed characteristics a determination is made if the wellbore is a candidate for a drill stem test.
